    I’ve been testing decants for weeks and today I randomly picked one. As soon as I sprayed it, I felt like I’d already smelled something similar; I spent hours trying to remember which one in my collection matched, and now I have it clear: for me, it smells quite like Jasmin des Anges from Dior’s Privée collection. I absolutely loved the scent.

    I’ve been testing decants for weeks and today I randomly picked one. As soon as I sprayed it, I felt like I’d smelled something similar before. I spent hours trying to remember which one, and now I’m confirming it has a lot in common with Dior’s Jasmin des Anges from the Privée collection. I absolutely loved the scent.

  3. Lucrethia V Canto is like that jeans-and-oversized-sweater girl: she goes unnoticed but has a spark, she’s fun and sweet-toothed, and makes you want to be around her all day. She opens cheerful and sparkling thanks to pink pepper and laurel. Although the notes sound like a recipe, it quickly reminds me of Black Opium: coffee, cocoa, and amber. What saves it is the clove and jasmine, making it a real gourmand and not a ‘book gourmand.’ The vanilla and benzoin make it cheeky and spicy, perfect for good company; it’s sophisticated without being over-the-top. Would I buy it? Not while I have Black Opium. Blind buy? Only if you like Black Opium-style fragrances. Scent 🏵🏵🏵 Longevity 🏵🏵🏵

    This is my first V Canto, and I bought it blind after reading reviews and notes, and I’m super happy. From the start, I notice fresh, delicious white flowers, especially jasmine, honeysuckle, and petit grain over an amber and slightly resinous base. I don’t detect the pear, coffee, or cocoa, and the vanilla barely shows up, so it doesn’t smell like Black Opium or Hundred Silent Ways. It’s a very cheerful white floral, perfect for hot days, clearly feminine, with beautiful packaging. The trail and projection are excellent, and it lasts between 7 and 9 hours. I recommend it to lovers of fresh, original florals.

    This is my first V Canto, and I bought it blind after reading reviews and notes. I’m super happy with how it evolves on me: at first, I notice fresh, delicious white flowers, especially jasmine, honeysuckle, and petit grain, over an amber and slightly resinous base. I don’t detect the pear, coffee, or cocoa, and the vanilla barely shows up. It doesn’t remind me of Black Opium or Hundred Silent Ways; it’s a very cheerful white floral, perfect for warm weather and daytime wear. It’s clearly feminine with beautiful packaging. The trail and projection are excellent, and the longevity is acceptable, lasting between 7 and 9 hours. Totally recommended for lovers of fresh, original florals.
